Amelia’s birthday
The big girl is 4. She is so big, we really can’t believe it.
Didn’t get any good pictures of the pretzel eating contest, but Hooray Emma! She gets bragging rights until next year.
Big moment in a girl’s life when she gets her first…Barbie!
Amelia ignored all her other presents for quite a while and played with just Barbie. Actually, this year was neat because every present got 1) a few moments of fame at one point or another yesterday or 2) a plan to play with it really soon while we talked in the car this morning. During previous birthdays, the opening has been the highlight. This year, the contents have become the highlight.
Caught Daphne peeking at Amelia’s present. When I said “What are you doing?”, she said “Pwesents? Pwesents?”
Daphne did get a few of her own, thanks all.
Amelia and Grandma got a lot of good time together this visit since Amelia can do a lot of things herself now. They had all day Friday and half a day today together while we were at work. Grandma taught her a lot of spelling, read many books and played several games with her. Tomorrow life is back to normal. Grandma goes home and we all go back to school and work. Too bad!

Happy belated birthday, Amelia Bedelia!
The Barbie pic brings back memories of my girls and their Barbies. They would set up elaborate cities of their many Barbies in their various incarnations and make up dialogue. The Barbies had children, jobs, houses and shared a big pink convertible. And of course they had their men who always wore white tuxedos. Anyway, one day, I overheard one “Totally Hair Barbie” (with her hair past her waist) say to another–”It’s just impossible to get a haircut in this town.” Happy 4th – Amelia–here’s wishing you many more Barbies!
